Well gaddamn, and here I thought I had the perfect reason as to why the stats were merged, and I had honestly thought I had read GPD saying something similar to what I said.

Would of made more sense to be honest. So yeah, I'm now of the same opinion as most, it is one heck of a stupid change.

Not a fan of this change, its a step backwards, more than one actually.

This is pretty much the only change I don't like or understand tbh. Everything else they did was good or at the very least makes a lot of sense, whereas this is just so bizarre, like I don't see how anyone can think it makes sense for these attributes to be merged.

Some of the things EA has done with stats are great to see

This, is not one of those.

We need *more* intricate and detailed striking stats. Not simpler.

Move levels "sort of" make up for it, but especially as it relates to striking speed, they fall short.

(Move levels affect your Stamina Loss and Power of a strike; but Speed isn't affected at all).

Obvious answer is they did this for ease of use in Ultimate Team. I understand that to some degree. But I still don't think this simplification is a good thing overall.

At the least, we need different Speed and Power Stats for Punches vs. Kicks (and really, Left vs. Right Punches/Kicks too) --- as well as the other stats and moves already included.

Accuracy could use another stat perhaps, too (punch vs. kick accuracy)

I can't get rid of those mixed up and down feelings for EA.

First of all I agree with OP.
EA is changing things that don't need to be touched at all.

Another example: They're bringing us new outstanding stuff that people really get excited for and then they take something good out-of the game. Why?

I have no idea why there even was KO zoom in the beta when we voted that off years ago.

The post beta KOs look so good (not ea ufc 2 good but better than ok) but then they leave the follow up punches out of the game. Why?

Nobody likes Microtransaction but limiting packs per week seems to be an impossible change. Why?

Make it 2 packs a week for pay to win. Boom Balanced!

I could go on forever but I'm ending the rant here.

I think move levels can take care of the differences between power of different sides. Having attributes for the different sides opens things up for exploit, such as only having power in one leg, as you can use only one leg quite well.

To be fair, Barboza's kicks are still much better. But yeah Nate's are too good because the stats issue.

Isn't that what you'd say is..realistic for those who don't switch irl or literally don't use their lead leg for exemple for striking? It's exploiting a weakness, not exploiting as in cheesing a gameplay exploit.

It would makes it so you would hesitate to switch stance even more, on one side you have to considerably be more aware of checking the leg kicks, on the other side you can switch stance but resulting in you having way less power/speed/technique hence posing much less risk to your opponent.

Or am I not understanding what you mean? Cause you did say that the move levels doesn't make that much of a difference.
